"No way, is this vicious fake monk telling the truth?" The burly man carrying the sword was the first to look at the collapsing palace in the distance with surprise and asked.

"Such a powerful aura, it truly is terrifying, as if something buried for too long is about to be born at this moment!" The Great Elder of the Chinese Kunlun Secret Realm frowned and said.

"Anyway, it should be a powerful treasure. I seem to feel a certain familiar aura, but I can’t quite place it!" Ye Tianchen also said in surprise.

The burly man carrying the sword glanced at the palace built with Cloud Stone in the distance, and the Roma Vulcan had already rushed to that place. He couldn’t help but say anxiously, "Damn, I say, you two, no matter what that thing is, if that vicious fake monk gets his hands on it, it will be a disaster for us. We absolutely cannot let him succeed; we can’t just stand by and watch!"

"Brother is right, we can’t let Roma Vulcan succeed, otherwise, it will be a disaster for us and even for ordinary people in the Mortal World!" Ye Tianchen nodded and said.

"Then let’s go, let’s fight for it. No matter what, we cannot let Roma Vulcan get this treasure!" The Great Elder of the Chinese Kunlun Secret Realm said seriously.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Three figures also transformed into beams of light, reaching the extreme speed, heading toward the palace of the Hidden World that was continually collapsing. As for Roma Vulcan at this time, he had already reached inside the collapsing palace, and he was stunned, with his eyes filled with excitement, because right before him, he saw a sword emitting a terrifying aura!

At this moment, inside the palace that was about to completely shatter in the Hidden World, a sword could be seen floating in midair. Powerful forces were constantly emanating from within the sword, and that kind of imposing power was harrowing, even giving a sense of trembling, too powerful, never before did anyone discover that this sword was inside the palace.

"This should be the treasure suppressing the Array Formation Array Eye. I didn’t expect it to be an astonishingly world-class sword!" Roma Vulcan couldn’t help but excitedly talk to himself.

Bang-dong!

The palace built with Cloud Stone continued to fragment, even though such a near Divine Material thing was used, the palace seemed unable to withstand the turbulence of the Magic Law of the Hidden World, slowly feeling destroyed. And the sword appearing in the palace continued to float, just its own power scattering around, seeming like even the Magic Law of the Hidden World couldn’t stop the turmoil of this sword, making one feel it too amazing!

"Great, it really is great, the sword, an astonishing world-class sword, shall be mine. With this sword, who would dare challenge me?" Roma Vulcan shouted excitedly.

Swoosh!

Roma Vulcan couldn’t suppress his impulse, just wanting to get this sword as soon as possible. At this moment, even a fool could see how powerful, how extraordinary this sword was, capable of dominating such a Hidden World, serving as the treasure suppressing the Array Formation Array Eye is definitely not something ordinary treasures could do, especially after the Magic Law of the Hidden World shattered, the treasure suppressing the Array Eye appeared, making it even more unbelievable, the power it emanates is enough to make one utterly shocked, if obtained, who knows what vast fortune might be there!

Bang!

However, when Roma Vulcan rushed toward the sword floating at the center of the palace, before he reached the sword, he was hit and flew back by a force, sending Roma Vulcan back where he started, shocking and furrowing his brows deeply, he did not expect, this sword seemed to have spiritual nature and repelled those who wanted to acquire it, it seems not easy to take it!

"I didn’t expect this sword has already developed spiritual nature, even with a hint of stubbornness, making me want it even more!" Roma Vulcan was stunned for a moment and then laughed more excitedly.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

At this time, Ye Tianchen, the Great Elder of the Chinese Kunlun Secret Realm, and the burly man carrying the sword had also arrived inside the palace. Looking at the palace continually collapsing, at the sword floating at the center of the palace, then glancing at Roma Vulcan, the three of them furrowed their brows.

"The terrifying treasure is right there. I’ve already made an attempt to take it, but failed. Would you like to try?" Roma Vulcan asked with a cold smile.

"Pah, stop trying to fool us! I bet you don’t have the guts to take it yourself and want us to take the lead? Fat chance!" The burly man with the knife cursed fiercely.

"No, he really did try, but failed!" Ye Tianchen said, glancing at the sword mark on Roma Vulcan’s left shoulder.

"This sword, capable of being the treasure within the Array Formation Array Eye of the Hidden World, can emit such terrifying power. Getting a hold of it is definitely no easy task!" The Great Elder of China Kunlun Secret Realm said with a frown.

"So, I’m saying you can try..." Roma Vulcan responded with a cold smile.

"You fake monk, it doesn’t matter whether we go for that sword or not, you’re not leaving here alive anyway. I, the burly man with the knife, am someone who repays my debts and avenges my grudges!" The burly man with the knife glared fiercely at Roma Vulcan. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

"Brother, don’t be impulsive. This treasure might be very important to me!" Ye Tianchen pondered for a moment and said.

"Don’t worry, brother. Just find a way to get the treasure. As for this fake monk, I’ll hold him off. I have scores to settle with him!" The burly man with the knife said as he swung his fist towards Roma Vulcan.

Boom!

The burly man with the knife was quick-tempered and straightforward. Earlier inside the palace, he was severely injured while healing from Roma Vulcan’s plot, which controlled his Divine sense and nearly cost him his life. The burly man with the knife holds grudges and wants revenge, unable to restrain his impulse for vengeance. Now, with the terrifying treasure in the Hidden World coming into existence, Roma Vulcan laid out his scheme for so long, killing so many people in one go, all for the treasure—all for a sword emanating terrifying aura. How could the burly man with the knife let him succeed? He definitely wouldn’t!

Roma Vulcan didn’t anticipate the burly man with the knife to be so impulsive. Despite the allure of the powerful treasure, nothing could stop his vengeful steps, nor his fury, as he suddenly attacked. But, Roma Vulcan had no choice but to fight back. Although the burly man with the knife wasn’t as formidable or inscrutable as Ye Tianchen, he was not an easy Martial Artist to deal with, with a similarly profound cultivation realm and strong combat power!

At this moment, Ye Tianchen and the Great Elder of China Kunlun Secret Realm both stared at the sword floating in the center of the palace. Ye Tianchen frowned; there was a very familiar feeling, yet the reason for this familiarity eluded him. Ye Tianchen couldn’t help but murmur, "This terrifying sword, its aura seems familiar!"

"Because this floating sword belongs to the Ancient Ten Divine Swords!" The Great Elder of China Kunlun Secret Realm said, his eyes fixed on the sword in the palace’s center.

"What? It’s also one of the Ancient Ten Divine Swords?" Ye Tianchen was surprised. He was somewhat familiar with the Ancient Ten Divine Swords and felt destined to have some connection with them. Having already acquired the Taie Sword, Fish Intestine Sword, Xuanyuan Sword, and the Cheng Ying Sword gifted by Elder Bai Yi at Zhongnan Mountain, Ye Tianchen had obtained four of the Ancient Ten Divine Swords. If he got yet another sword in the Hidden World, wouldn’t he have more than half of them?

The Great Elder of China Kunlun Secret Realm glanced at the Taie Sword in Ye Tianchen’s right hand before saying, "The reason you feel familiar is that this sword is also one of the Ancient Ten Divine Swords, and your Taie Sword has some kind of celestial connection among them!"

"Senior, which sword from the Ancient Ten Divine Swords is it?" Ye Tianchen couldn’t help but ask.

"Zhanlu!"

"Zhanlu?" Ye Tianchen repeated in confusion.

The Great Elder of China Kunlun Secret Realm nodded with a smile, "In the Mortal World, legends about the Ancient Ten Divine Swords have a storied origin, which I believe you know. It is said that the Zhanlu Sword is a sword and an eye. Zhanlu: Black as ink. The Zhanlu Sword, completely black and flawless, feels not sharp but broad and kind. It’s like a black eye, observing kings and lords’ every move. When a monarch is righteous, the sword stays, and the nation prospers. When unjust, the sword departs, and the country collapses. With the essence of five metals and the sun, it becomes divine and intimidating. King of Yue begged the master swordsmith Ouyez to craft a sword. Ouyez and his wife Zhu, along with their daughter Mo Ye, traveled from Minhou up Min River, reaching the dense forests of Zhanlu Mountain where they found the necessary Divine Iron and Holy Water for sword-making. Ouyez settled and set up a forge, spending three years crafting it. Upon completion, Ouyez wept as he finally fulfilled his lifelong dream: to forge an indomitable, non-threatening weapon."

"And at the moment of Zhanlu Sword’s completion, Ouyez, hailed as the master swordsmith, declared his lifelong dream fulfilled!" (To be continued.
